Abstract
Accretion disks are important for many astrophysics phenomena and objects such as: quasars,active galatic nuclei,X-ray binary systems,young stellar objects and gamma ray bursts etc. Here,we review the main contents of disk’s theory and some recent progress associated with the applications,including the thin and thick/tori disks,emitted spectrum and radiation mechanism,self-gravitating and advection disks,instabilities of accretion disks. Finally,we give a summary discussion.
